The humble Peg Bag

I think I finally 'got it'!! See here when I began this quest of trying to make the humble peg bag http://mycreativelifestyle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-peg-bag-project.html I feel sure it really is not that difficult to most, I think I missed off attempt number 3 (or was it 4?). So today the bull was taken by the horns and I got on with it and made 2. The fun frog one above, which is lined with bright stripes.

...and the vintage corduroy one, with a beige fabric lining and red vintage button. That's better, they do actually work with the pegs now, I do need some smaller coat hangers though for this design, going to order some of those as I am really not so keen on the larger bulkier design, I prefer this one.Hope to try get some decent photo's at weekend - I need a washing line and a nice garden, so have to visit my Aunt for that one - and they just 'might' make it to the Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/SimJaTa?ref=seller_info they might not, as will take them to the farm shop first to see what they think - tomorrow I will do some carrier bag holders to match each one, and probably make another one, then I will really have to knuckle down to the new bag design I keep promising to start on.As I have done so well today it must be time to get the paints out now? surely? The car hunting is going badly, I did find my ideal car that I loved to bits.. but its in Ilford which is about 200 miles away from me, such a shame as it was Purple too.. never had a car in a colour I choose before, always have to make do' really. Never mind, sure I will find something in time...

About Me

I'm Lynda, I am a mixed media artist living in the UK. I have been teaching myself art since October 2011 when I found this to be a possible thing, I always thought artists were 'born' with the talent. I do have a craft shop on Etsy to try to fund my art practice as supplies do not come cheap, there is a little window here on my blog to show you my shop.

There are so many wonderful art teachers on-line, I often mention the great courses I am on, and show the work I am doing - hopefully as I improve I will encourage others to try their hand at art as art is such a release from many things out in the real world, that can often be quite an ugly place. It is my first ambition to have at least one piece of art exhibited in my local group at their annual event, I know I will be good enough one year.......and as of 2016 to become a portrait artist.

I am now in my 50th year. I live with my husband and currently three rescue dogs (and many remain in our hearts).
